Een "gewaagd" dagje Delft

Discover Delfts History Through Canals Cuisine And Historic Churches

Delft comes alive in this engaging afternoon experience combining scenic sightseeing, local history, and historic landmarks. The journey begins with a relaxing canal cruise through the city center, where a live guide shares stories about Delft, its famous figures, important landmarks, and hidden gems. The cruise offers a memorable introduction to the city from the water.

The experience continues with lunch at Restaurant De Waag, a historic fourteenth century building that once served as a weighing house for traded goods. Guests can enjoy their meal surrounded by historic features, including the original scales, creating a distinctive dining experience that connects local cuisine with the citys past.

After lunch, the journey continues with visits to the Nieuwe Kerk and Oude Kerk. The Nieuwe Kerk is known as the resting place of William of Orange and members of the Royal Family, while the Oude Kerk is famous for its leaning tower and its connection with Johannes Vermeer. Together, the churches offer a deeper look into Delfts religious, royal, and cultural heritage.

Guests should arrive at the jetty at Koornmarkt 113 ten minutes before the cruise departure and show their QR code at the sales kiosk to collect vouchers and admission tickets. Lunch drinks and the optional church tower climb are not part of the package. Guests with limited mobility can receive assistance from the skippers, while wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers can be safely stored at the sales kiosk. Sunday schedules are adjusted, and the churches are closed that day.
